him to quaff; -r
He grows formal with men, and with women

And loves for his pleasure-and It's time he

Mendoza had natural gas exhibition,
the other night, at the well. Thousands of
people went out 10 see the gas lighted. At
I O'Clock the trap was opened, when, as a
local paper says, 1.-The gas was turned on
and began escaping with roar like train
of freight cars, and occasionally IL was
made 10 whistle like locomotive by in
sorting a hollow tube over the opening.
The gas was next lighted, when II suddenly
shot up lurid column Of flame from
eighteen TO twenty feet in height, illumin.
ating the surrounding space and extending
to the horizon. The heat was noticeable
for quite distance around the pipe, caus-
ing the crowd TO fall back from the roarer.
An examination with guage showed the
average pressure of over twenty pounds 10
the square inch to be still maintained, and
the well is clear of all water and sand, and
appears as If its supply might be main
tanned indefinitely. 1t is known that more
gas escapes through this one we'll every
hour when turned on, than the Mendoza
gas works can manufacture In twenty four
hours" 1t remains 10 be seen what will
be done by the citizens towards testing the
permanency and utilizing the new and
cheap fuel which seemingly lies In great
abundance almost at their very doors.

The Window Glass Works.


One peculiar feature of this falls diff
culties between the window glass blowers
and the employers, says the american
Manufacture, is this:
1t will be remembered that some time
since federation of window glass workers
of Belgium, England and the United States
was formed. One of the laws of the
federation is that a glass worker in one
country cannot emigrate to either of the
others without first making inquiry and
getting permission from the branch of the
federation in the country to which he
proposes to emigrate. This has, OF course,
practically stopped all emigration OF
window glass workers to this country. The
result has been that the Belgian glass
manufacturers have taken advantages OF
the fact that their operatives can no longer
emigrate to enforce two reductions In
wages, and with these reductions they
have of course, been better able to send
glass to this country In competition with
American glass, until 1t is now fact that
some sizes of Belgium glass are sold here
lower than the labor cost OF the same aizes
in this country. The federation, though
at first sight 1t might seem good thing
tor the glass workers of the United States,
by preventing an increased competition of
labor by stopping emigration, has really
injured them by making possible reduced
cost of production abroad, and also increas
ed competition of product Thus, Fedora
lions of Trades in different countries, with
as widely different policies and conditions
as those of England, Belgium and the
United States, cannot be equitable to all.

The Improvement Association.

"Whst about our improvement Associa-
tion," asked our street walker of Mr.. Cook
q few days since, show are they getting
along with the sale Of the lots, and the sum
they agreed to pay to the organ factory"
WELL" said Mr.. Cook, "the lots are sell
Ing pretty we'll. About one.third OF them
are sold. or course the Association Is hard
up at present, but as soon as the deeds for
the lots are taken out and the money paid
we will be all right. We have paid the
$4,000 for the ground, and $500 OF the
pledge to the Company. We are to pay, OF
the full pledge of 100000, half this year
and half next year. We paid them $4,000
down, and then when the next $4,000 was
due, we borrowed II at the bank, but soon
had sufficient money coming In to repay IT,
Then we paid another g., 500 the same way,
and have that about half repaid. As soon
as the gentlemen who have bought the lots
pay, we shall be able 10 pay the 81 700,
now due on the last payment, and to pay
the other little liabilities which we have.
Then the only demand We shall have TO
meet is the second $4,000 next year. 1
think we shall all come out with our
moneys worth besides getting the organ
factory here"

The difficulty with the advocates of free
trade is that they contine their presenta-
tations to an abstract theory. They never
refer to the practical workings of the theo-
nv. All policies should be judged by re-.
suits. We had free trade, with an inter
mittent period of few years of protection,
up to 1861. We know the result IN bank.
rupt treasury, ruined credit, Frustrated
business, and dependence upon Europe for
almost everything. -La Sale Republican,
Clearly Mr.. Webster dosen't know what
he is talking about. Comparing the re-
suits of " free trade between 80 and go
with those of protection for any ten
years since, and IT will be found that wages
and manufacturing increased faster in the
"free trade period than during any other
period In the history of the country If,
as has been asked before, free trade up to
1861 bankrupted the country, whence came
the enormous resources of the country that
enabled 1t to carry to successful issue the
most expensive civil war the world ever
saw?

The Streator people are uneasy about the
water supply, A few weeks ago the whole
business was settled. The chose was
turned on at the stand. pipe and In the
newspapers; and in the biggest kind of
adjectives the latter told us of the enormous
quantities of sparkling water flowing
around there. What Streator wanted of so
much water which the papers said there
existed, nobody knows. They don't drink
It, and few indulge In the extravaganza Of
a bath; but even at that economical rate of
consumption the Otter Creek supply has
been already found inadequate. Some time
ago, says the Free Press, the people "were
promised that the water works would be
connected with the river, so that an auxili.
airy supply might be procured from that
source. After experimenting with gang.
wells, for several months, while the city
was almost unprotected from the fire. fend
1t is now given out that this method Of PRO-
curing an adequate supply has been aban
doned. From now until June there will
probably be enough water In Otter Creek
to meet all the demands made upon the
works. Then, unless something is done
the city will again be left at the mercy Of
the fires for several months

Cora's beauty quickly faded; Susan's eye
